I’m trying to log into a (what I assume to be a) webapp and I get stuck trying to log into the website. Using WWW::Mechanize does work but in the responses from my post, content it print nothing more than a couple HTML Javascript:

<HTML>

<SCRIPT Language=JAVAScript>

 var msgTimerID;

 var strForceLogOff = "false";

 function WindowOnLoad(){

    if ("false" == "true" && "false" == "false") 
        MerlinSystemMsg("",64);

    if ("false"=="true") 
        msgTimerID = window.setInterval("MerlinSystemMsg(10095,64)", 300000,'javascript');

 }

 function MyShowModal(){

     showModalDialog("", window, strFeatures);}

 function clearMsgInterval(){

    window.clearInterval(msgTimerID);

 }

 function WindowOnUnLoad(){

     if(top.frames(0).document.getElementById("OPMODE").value =="LOGOFF"){

         strFeatures = "width=1,height=1,left=1000,top=1000,toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=yes,resizable=1";

         window.open("ForceLogOff.aspx","forcelogout",strFeatures);

     }

 }

 window.onbeforeunload = WindowOnUnLoad;

 window.onload = WindowOnLoad;

</SCRIPT>

<FRAMESET  ROWS="57px, *" BORDER=0 FRAMEBORDER=0  STYLE="background-color=transparent"> 

<FRAME TITLE="Service Desk Express Navigator" SRC="Options_split.aspx?NavigatorName=1065" NORESIZE>  

</HTML>

There is also this Frame Title that has the src: 

 FRAME TITLE="Service Desk Express Navigator" SRC="options_nailogo.aspx" MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 NORESIZE scrolling=no

In general, how would I handle a response like this when the content is not the websites source, but mostly scripts?

    That content is the website source 🙂

    How WWW::Mechanize deals with FRAME SRC as a link:

    Note that <FRAME SRC=”…”> tags are parsed out of the the HTML and
    treated as links so this method works with them.

    You’ll want to use follow_link on that link.
